I just think of Ellis Burke of Red Sox fame. I like it for a boy, but don't like it for a girl. I just think it is too masculine. Alison is good name though! Blake is nms but not bad at all. GL deciding!

Re: WDYT of the name Ellis?
lol I hate Alice; no offense just to classic for me.
Eeek I never though by choosing Allison people might NM her Alice.. Lol
Uh oh
I'm a fan of last names as first names for girls.
I like Ellis. You could put it with a feminine middle name like Ellis Grace.
See I think thats the perfect name. I just love it. Hmm Maybe I will work on DH
That was my first thought too.
Ditto. Sorry.
I don't like Ellis and like it even less as a girl's name.
I love Allison, though, and I'd never think of Alice as a nickname for it. Allie, yes, Alice, no.
I like Blake for a boy too.
Some Sort of Nonsense (My Blog)
same here. My BFF in elementary school's Dad and oldest brother were named this.
I went to college with an Annellis (an-ellis). I LOVED her name.
I also love Anneliese though. Some people thought you pronounced Anellis' name that way.
Guys named Blake all have popped collars. I knew a really wierd girl named Blakely. Didn't like it for either.
